In the North of England there was a tradition of "Whitsuntide Clothing". I believe there was symbolism in it, connected with the new white garment worn by converts at baptism. Poor families saved for months, to get their children "Whitsun clothing". It was the only time they got brand new, the parents and children were so proud. If they were fortunate to own a camera, they would photograph the whole family. The rest of the year they relied on jumble sales. |
  Catholic and proud of it! Talk to God before Mass. Talk to each other afterwards | |
